RECONCILIATION TO NON‐GAAP MEASURES Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) Available to Common Shareholders to Funds From Operations and Core Funds From Operations We use the definition of FFO adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“Nareit”). Nareit defines FFO as net income or loss  calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding: depreciation and amortization related to real estate; gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets; and impairment write‐downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of  depreciable real estate held by the entity. Due to the limitations of the Nareit FFO definition, we have made certain interpretations in applying this definition. We believe that all such interpretations not  specifically identified in the Nareit definition are consistent with this definition. Nareit's FFO White Paper 2018 Restatement clarified that impairment write‐downs  of land related to a REIT's main business are excluded from FFO and a REIT has the option to exclude impairment write‐downs of assets that are incidental to its  main business. We believe that FFO, which is a standard supplemental measure for equity real estate investment trusts, is helpful to investors in understanding our operating  performance, primarily because its calculation excludes depreciation and amortization expense on real estate assets, thereby providing an additional perspective  on our operating results. We believe that GAAP historical cost depreciation of real estate assets is not correlated with changes in the value of those assets, whose  value does not diminish predictably over time, as historical cost depreciation implies. The exclusion in Nareit’s definition of FFO of impairment write‐downs and  gains and losses from the sale of real estate assets helps to identify the operating results of the long‐term assets that form the base of our investments, and assists  management and investors in comparing those operating results between periods. While FFO is widely used by us as a primary performance metric, not all real estate companies use the same definition of FFO or calculate FFO in the same way.  Accordingly, FFO presented here is not necessarily comparable to FFO presented by other real estate companies. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to  net income or any other GAAP measurement of performance, but rather should be considered as an additional, supplemental measure. FFO also does not  represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of our needs or our  ability to service indebtedness or make distributions. Core Funds from Operations ("Core FFO") is FFO as adjusted for non‐routine items or items not considered core to our business operations. By further adjusting for  items that are not considered part of our core business operations, we believe that Core FFO provides investors with additional information to compare our core  operating and financial performance between periods. Core FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of financial  performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including  our ability to make distributions to shareholders. Core FFO is a non‐GAAP and non‐standardized measure that may be calculated differently by other REITs and  should not be considered a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. www.iretapartments.com 22

RECONCILIATION TO NON‐GAAP MEASURES Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) Available to Common Shareholders to Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, gain/loss on sale of real estate and other investments, impairment of real estate investments, gain/loss on extinguishment of debt, gain on litigation settlement, and gain/ loss from involuntary conversion. We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure because it permits investors to view income from operations without the effect of depreciation, the cost of debt, or nonoperating gains and losses. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and should not be considered a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. www.iretapartments.com 24
